The Lord is good. He has turned me from my life of sin and destruction. I was sold under sin, turning to every whim of sin because I found pleasure in doing the things of the flesh. I lived only to make myself happy. I had become totally selfish, wanting only to fulfill my desires. I did whatever was needed to fulfill them. It did not matter who was involved or got hurt. As long as my needs were met was all that mattered.
Living life this way fails to produce any amount of sustainable joy. Because of the crooked way, and the drugs and alcohol involved, I felt many times depressed. My soul wasn’t satisfied. Jesus came into my life, and everything changed. I found purpose. I had a different perspective. Many paths that I had gone down, I now saw them as being wrong. I found a soft heart in myself. I found a person that I knew only as a child. The rains of life had beat down on me. Jesus lifted this burden. I now could find meaning, joy and a way for me that I never knew before. Now, that I have my way established in the Lord, I must trust only Him to establish my steps.
